Kicking it at South Pasadena parks...
When Jon and I moved to South Pas 8 1/2 years ago, our daughter -- who many longtime readers still think of as Little Bit -- was only 2. That meant many, many, MANY sunkissed afternoons spent in local parks.
Of all the choices in South Pas -- from the newish playscapes at Lower Arroyo to the vast, green goodness of Garfield -- I was partial to Eddie Park. Little Bit is 11 now, and totally over "the park with the outdoor fireplace and the good slide," but occasionally she will still appease her mom and go there to kick around a soccer ball. (Before wanting to head home to play Minecraft. Tweens!)
Eddie Park is a quaint, quiet Marengo neighborhood park with a stretch of grass just right for tossing the frisbee or having a picnic. It rests on the lawn of an elegant, moody old house that looks like it should be inhabited by the ghosts of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Go there for a charming little hideaway picnic or, if you have a 2 year old, a good slide.
